tg3: Modify tg3_tso_bug() to handle multiple TX rings
tg3_tso_bug() was originally designed to handle only HW TX ring 0, Commit d3f6f3a1d818410c17445bce4f4caab52eb102f1 ("tg3: Prevent page allocation failure during TSO workaround") changed the driver logic to use tg3_tso_bug() for all HW TX rings that are enabled. This patch fixes the regression by modifying tg3_tso_bug() to handle multiple HW TX rings.

Commit 506724c463fcd63477a5e404728a980b71f80bb7 "tg3: Override clock, link aware and link idle mode during NVRAM dump" changed the timeout value for nvram command execution from 100ms to 1ms. But the 1ms timeout value was only sufficient for nvram read operations but not write operations for most of the devices supported by tg3 driver. This patch sets the MAX to 50ms. Also it uses usleep_range instead of udelay.

tg3: Clear NETIF_F_TSO6 flag before doing software GSO
Commit d3f6f3a1d818410c17445bce4f4caab52eb102f1 ("tg3: Prevent page allocation failure during TSO workaround") modified driver logic to use tg3_tso_bug() for any TSO fragment that hits hardware bug conditions thus the patch increased the scope of work for tg3_tso_bug() to cover devices that support NETIF_F_TSO6 as well. Prior to the patch, tg3_tso_bug() would only be used on devices supporting NETIF_F_TSO.
A regression was introduced for IPv6 packets requiring the workaround. To properly perform GSO on SKBs with TCPV6 gso_type, we need to call skb_gso_segment() with NETIF_F_TSO6 feature flag cleared, or the function will return NULL and cause a kernel oops as tg3 is not handling a NULL return value. This patch fixes the problem.

tg3: Override clock, link aware and link idle mode during NVRAM dump
When cable is not present the clock speed of some of the devices is reduced based upon power saving mode setting in NVRAM. Due to this NVRAM reads take long time to complete as a result CPU soft lockup message is seen. Fix is to override clock, disable link aware and link idle modes before NVRAM reads and restore them back after the reads are complete. During this period also check if the thread needs to be rescheduled and if there are any signals to handle.
Also decrease the NVRAM command execution timeout value to 1ms.

tg3: Prevent page allocation failure during TSO workaround
If any TSO fragment hits hardware bug conditions (e.g. 4G boundary), the driver will workaround by calling skb_copy() to copy to a linear SKB. Users have reported page allocation failures as the TSO packet can be up to 64K. Copying such a large packet is also very inefficient. We fix this by using existing tg3_tso_bug() to transmit the packet using GSO.

tg3: Don't modify ip header fields when doing GSO
tg3 uses GSO as workaround if the hardware cannot perform TSO on certain packets. We should not modify the ip header fields if we do GSO on the packet. It happens to work by accident because GSO recalculates the IP checksum and IP total length.
Also fix the tg3_start_xmit comment to reflect that this is the only xmit function for all devices.

tg3: Do not include vlan acceleration features in vlan_features
Including hardware acceleration features in vlan_features breaks stacked vlans (Q-in-Q) by marking the bottom vlan interface as capable of acceleration. This causes one of the tags to be lost and the packets are sent with a sing vlan header.

tg3: Poll cpmu link state on APE + ASF enabled devices
On ASF enabled devices where the mgmt firmware runs on the application processing engine, there is a race between the tg3 driver processing a link change event and the ASF firmware clearing the link changed bit in the EMAC status register. This leads to link notifications to the driver sometimes getting lost.
Poll the CPMU link state as a backup for the normal interrupt path update if ASF is enabled.

On the 5717, 5718 and 5719 devices, the bootcode runs slower when any port doesn't have a link due to clock speed slowing down as part of the link-aware feature. This leads to the driver timing out waiting for the bootcode signature.
This patch overrides the clock policy to the highest frequency just before reset and restores it after the bootcode is up.

tg3: Initialize REG_BASE_ADDR at PCI config offset 120 to 0
The new tg3 driver leaves REG_BASE_ADDR (PCI config offset 120) uninitialized. From power on reset this register may have garbage in it. The Register Base Address register defines the device local address of a register. The data pointed to by this location is read or written using the Register Data register (PCI config offset 128). When REG_BASE_ADDR has garbage any read or write of Register Data Register (PCI 128) will cause the PCI bus to lock up. The TCO watchdog will fire and bring down the system.

PCI / tg3: Give up chip reset and carrier loss handling if PCI device is not present
Modify tg3_chip_reset() and tg3_close() to check if the PCI network adapter device is accessible at all in order to skip poking it or trying to handle a carrier loss in vain when that's not the case. Introduce a special PCI helper function pci_device_is_present() for this purpose.
Of course, this uncovers the lack of the appropriate RTNL locking in tg3_suspend() and tg3_resume(), so add that locking in there too.
These changes prevent tg3 from burning a CPU at 100% load level for solid several seconds after the Thunderbolt link is disconnected from a Matrox DS1 docking station.

net: tg3: fix NULL pointer dereference in tg3_io_error_detected and tg3_io_slot_reset
Commit d8af4dfd8 ("net/tg3: Fix kernel crash") introduced a possible NULL pointer dereference in tg3 driver when !netdev || !netif_running(netdev) condition is met and netdev is NULL. Then, the jump to the 'done' label calls dev_close() with a netdevice that is NULL. Therefore, only call dev_close() when we have a netdevice, but one that is not running.

tg3: Allow NVRAM programming when interface is down
Previously, when the interface was brought down, the driver would set the power state to D3hot. In D3hot, we don't have access to the NVRAM. This patch removes the call to set the power state to PCI_D3hot in close. A following patch will implement the shutdown handler to properly set the D3hot state when the system is going down.
Doing the above means that the TG3_PHYFLG_IS_LOW_POWER should not be checked to validate access to the NVRAM.

During probe, the driver is incorrectly switching the power to Vaux on the 5717 and later devices. At this point, we are in D0 state and drawing maximum power. We also definitely have Vmain available. It doesn't make sense to switch to Vaux since it has a lesser maximum power draw and we might go over the limit. On a new system, we observe that not all ports are recognized in some of the slots with this call in place.

When the EEH error is the result of a fenced host bridge, MMIO accesses can be very slow (milliseconds) to timeout and return all 1's, thus causing the driver various timeout loops to take way too long and trigger soft-lockup warnings (in addition to taking minutes to recover).
It might be worthwhile to check if for any of these cases, ffffffff is a valid possible value, and if not, bail early since that means the HW is either gone or isolated. In the meantime, checking that the PCI channel is offline would be workaround of the problem.

tg3: Prevent system hang during repeated EEH errors.
The current tg3 code assumes the pci_error_handlers to be always called in sequence. In particular, during ->error_detected(), NAPI is disabled and the device is shutdown. The device is later reset and NAPI re-enabled in ->slot_reset() and ->resume().
In EEH, if more than 6 errors are detected in a hour, only ->error_detected() will be called. This will leave the driver in an inconsistent state as NAPI is disabled but netif_running state is still true. When the device is later closed, we'll try to disable NAPI again and it will loop forever.
We fix this by closing the device if we encounter any error conditions during the normal sequence of the pci_error_handlers.
v2: Remove the changes in tg3_io_resume() based on Benjamin Poirier's feedback.

Some systems that don't need wake-on-lan may choose to power down the chip on system standby. Upon resume, the power on causes the boot code to startup and initialize the hardware. On one new platform, this is causing the device to go into a bad state due to a race between the driver and boot code, once every several hundred resumes. The same race exists on open since we come up from a power on.
This patch adds a wait for boot code signature at the beginning of tg3_init_hw() which is common to both cases. If there has not been a power-off or the boot code has already completed, the signature will be present and poll_fw() returns immediately. Also return immediately if the device does not have firmware.

tg3: Ensure boot code has completed initialization before accessing hardware
After resetting the device, the driver waits for a signature to be updated to know that firmware has completed initialization. However, the call to tg3_poll_fw() is being done too late and we're writing to the GRC_MODE register before it has completely initialized, causing contention with firmware. This logic has existed since day one but is causing PCIE link to go down randomly at startup on one platform once every few hundred reboots.
Move the tg3_poll_fw() up to before we write to the GRC_MODE register after reset.
